Happy Pets At Home

Clover is used to snow, and this small amount barely registered with her. We've had three nor'easters in a row, with great accumulations. Plucky little Clover handled them all with great aplomb:

 But as always, the gathering place is the kitchen corner. This collection was Daphne, Clover, Fergus, Bugsy and Jack:

 Bramble loves to push the boot trays away from the wall, sloshing the water bowls. I have no idea why, but he loves to do it:

 Daphne knows how to handle a snowy yard also. It's no problem for her:

 And when I'm using the computer, this canine collection often can be found right behind me. Clover sure knows how to find a soft, warm bed:

 The Siamese Fighting Fish is healthy and apparently as happy as a Fighting Fish can be. I put a calendar page behind him before I took the picture and the colors turned him on, causing him to display nicely. He would fan out his fins like this if he saw another male to fight or a female to breed with:

 Nap time in the bedroom. Jack was under the bed and Clover was behind it on the floor pillows. You can just catch a glimpse of Meghan (the guinea pig) to the right:

 Daisy follows me almost anywhere I go. At any other time, she can be found at the top of the tallest cat tree upstairs:

 Another kitchen corner collection - Jack, Daphne, Fergus, Bugsy, Clover and Bramble:

He also told me to start increasing his dog food, that he'd lost all the weight he needed to. Seamus is one of the dogs who seems to have an outsized love for me. I've had a lot of dogs in my life, but a few have stood out as exceptional. I've noticed that some of the most loving have also had independent streaks:
